Right In Front of Me (Itachi x Reader MODERN)

Chapter 14

Leena stood next you with a huge smile. Something definitely did not feel right about this woman. And you knew for sure it was not jealousy, you felt a very dark aura coming from her but you knew to keep your cool. 

"How are you (y/n)?" 

"I'm greaaaat. Thank you for asking. How about yourself?" *Be nice. This is your best friends fiance.* 

"Great." She cocked her head to side with a sickeningly sweet smile. 

"Great." You returned an equally sweet smile back. 

Sakura looked between the both of you as the tension in the air became thicker as you just stared at each other. 

You finally broke the stare by looking towards Saukra, a softer look on your face. 

"I heard Sasuke is about to finish at the agency, you must be proud." Leena's head snapped to look at the girl next to her. 

The pinkette smiled brightly and slightly blushed. "I am! You should see him (y/n), ahh. Sorry sorry he's just come so far." 

Watching Sakura gush over her fiance made you smile at how cute she looked. You can see she actually loved and cared for him. 

"No no please. You're allowed to gloat, we both know the weight he's been carrying and to see someone genuinely proud and happy for him is nice. I'm glad he has you." You say as you give her a wink, making Sakura cover her face and laugh. 

"Sasuke is graduating?" Leena asked Sakura. *You don't even know what's going on in your own supposed family, what game are you playing?*

Sakura just nodded and look back at you. "I'm sure you know what it feels like. I bet you were super proud of Itachi too. They just get it ten times harder than the other cadets so no one thinks they get special treatment." 

Now it was your turn to blush and clear your throat at the sudden remark. Something that didn't go unnoticed by Leena. 

"What do you mean-" Before the brunette could finish her question, Sakura's phone went off and she excused herself to answer the call. Leaving just you and your favorite person in the whole world alone. 

As soon as Sakura stepped away, the atmosphere around the two of you changed.  

Leena's face turning an unflattering shade of red as she slowly stood dangerously close to you.  You just dropped your bags and stood up straight raising an eyebrow at her. *Try me, bitch.*

"I know I've only met you once but I don't like you." Leena told you in a low voice. 

"Likewise." You replied almost immediately. 

"Leave. Him. Alone. Get away from him." 

"Funny. Last time I checked Itachi came looking for me and you weren't his owner."

"I'm his fiance." 

"Who seems to have a misunderstanding of what a synonym is." You said more to yourself. 

"You want Itachi and I know it even if he's too blind too see it." 

"Oh careful Leena, you're insecurity is showing." You smiled at her as you saw nostrils flaring and her visibly starting to shake.

"What? Struck a nerve." You feigned innocence while not knowing where this catty immaturity was coming from. 

"You think you have him all figured out don't you?" 

"He's been my best friend since I was 5, I know him like the palm of my hand. More than you will ever know him, trust." You looked her up and down .
